Quick Thoughts
It’s been three weeks since Brex sent notification to many account holders advising them that they’d be closing their accounts on August 15, 2022. If you’re affected by that upcoming round of account closures and hadn’t gotten around to redeeming your Brex points yet, your procrastination might well have paid off now that there’s this 25% transfer bonus to LifeMiles.
It looks like this transfer bonus is on the LifeMiles side rather than provided by Brex themselves, so you won’t see the 25% bonus when logging in to your Brex account. What we’re not sure about is if this transfer bonus is available for all Brex account holders or if LifeMiles is targeting customers who’ve previously transferred from Brex. If you received an email from LifeMiles yesterday letting you know about the transfer bonus, it’s safe to say that you’ll receive the 25% bonus miles. If you didn’t get that email though, we can’t guarantee that you will receive the 25% bonus, so it’s up to you if you want to make a somewhat speculative transfer. Update: There’s a landing page for this offer on the LifeMiles website, so it should definitely be available for all Brex account holders.
Nick wrote a helpful post a couple of weeks ago about what to do with your Brex points, so that post is worth a read in case another redemption option would be better for you even with this 25% transfer bonus. Don’t forget that LifeMiles expire after 12 months of inactivity, although it’s not too hard to extend the life of them. There are also a number of Avianca LifeMiles sweet spots, so check out this post for more details about those.

I just completed this transfer from Brex, both the base transfer and the bonus posted immediately.
Had you gotten the email?
I didnt get the email so trying to figure out if I will still likely get the bonus
I did not get the email. As someone else stated, the promo is listed in the Deals section when you login to LifeMiles. In fact, I created my LifeMiles account right before I did the transfer. I confirmed the promo in the Deals section.
Thanks, for the dense like me you can see the deal logged in at lifemiles.com rather than avianca.com
I see the 25% bonus in my Lifemiles account, under Deals.
Thanks! I’ve just added that link to the post.
